Event Details

Tex Perkins has played a key role in Australian music

It’s understandably difficult to pull together a coherent picture of a man whose career has taken in everything from the groundbreaking experimental punktonica of Sydney mid-80s noiseniks Thug to the lilting, dark country of his recent material with the Dark Horses.

From the hard edged pub rock of the Beasts Of Bourbon’s, a snarling slice of filthy pub rock to the evocative soundscapes of The Cruel Sea, whose extraordinary 1991 single ‘This Is Not The Way Home’ placed Perkins’ world-weary growl in a new musical context and heralded the emergence of an entirely original yet archetypically Australian sound.

Then there’s the Tex, Don & Charlie albums, which saw Perk
ins joining forces with the legendary Don Walker, Cold Chisel’s pianist and master songwriter and son of the Clarence Valley, and Charlie Owen, previously Australia’s best kept musical secret.

Now is Tex’s exciting new (and long over due) collaboration with Matt Walker (a great artist in his own right) for duo shows. It’s a blues swamp-groove kinda thing that’s a little reminiscent of some of the things in Tex’s back catalogue. Many new originals inhabit the setlist, but see them now while they still have to flesh out the set with a few Cruel Sea covers!

“Tex has the swagger, presence and indomitable attitude that comes from years of fronting some of Australia’s most intense and spirited rock’n’roll bands. His take-no-prisoners approach to performance comes with the sensibility of an artist committed to the subtle (and often unsubtle) nuances of his craft. Throw in an astonishing voice full of power and depth, mix it with a dry and sardonic sense of humour and what emerges is the reason there is only one Tex Perkins”.

29jan8:00 pmDouble Gin & Tonic Connie B with Shellie Morris & Toni ChildsDarwin Entertainment Centre

Event Details

Connie B returns to the Centre with two world-renowned, award-winning singer-songwriters, Shellie Morris and Toni Childs. Connie B (Constantina Bush) is Australia’s premier Indigenous showgirl with a voice that has charmed audiences from the Sydney Opera House to Katherine, telling tales woven together with a wit that spares no one.

Inspired by Artback NT’s On the Couch with Connie B series that saw Emma Rowe as the first to ‘jump on the couch’ in September 2020, audiences will have another chance to dig deeper into the music and lives of Connie B’s guests…live and in person!

Connie B’s performance repertoire runs from Motown-style music all the way through to pop and her tunes are always accompanied by tongue-in-cheek comedy. You will never see Connie B in the same room as Kamahi Djordon King who was one of the first graduates of the Aboriginal Centre for the Performing Arts in 2000, who has since performed and toured with the Malthouse Theatre Company, ILBIJERRI Theatre Company, Finucane and Smith variety shows, and Yothu Yindi and the Treaty Project. Connie B has been performing since 2008, appearing at VIPAA Awards, Speigeltents, Darwin Festival and Sydney Festival.

Shellie Morris is poignant, knowledgeable and full of humour. Her illustrious career has balanced being one of Australia’s most celebrated singer-songwriters with her unwavering commitment to healing through music within communities. While she has been in the spotlight for many years with her involvement with Black Arm Band, Deadly Awards, ARIA nominations, Music Australia Award, NAIDOC Award, G.R. Burarrawanga Memorial Award and Australian of the Year Award, by and large, Shellie works on the ground reaffirming the identity of all those blessed to work with her.

Toni Childs – yes, that’s right – the American singer-songwriter best known for her songs ‘Don’t Walk Away’, ‘I’ve Got to Go Now’ and the Emmy-winning ‘Because You’re Beautiful’ will be adding her wisdom, warmth and music to the stage.

Your host will disarm you, encouraging you to laugh and cry with Shellie Morris and Toni Childs as you soak up their music.

Enjoy your Double Gin and Tonic!
